DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases.

This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

A person in a gray shirt types on a laptop, with illustrated emojis and social media icons floating above and around them.

A graphic states "1 in 4 young people in the EU suffered from cyberbullying," with a sad emoji and abstract digital design elements.

Young people are online more than ever — but not always safely.

Here’s how EU countries want to protect them:

🔒 safer digital spaces
📱 healthy screen habits
🧠 better digital skills

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

Eight Policy Principles to Guide our Relationship with Digital Technology Policies have enabled cars and airplanes to be used safely. No such policies exist for social media or AI. Progress is being made to fix this gap—beginning with protecting our kids.

Just as we need to design roads to limit harm, we must legislate rules to stop the social harms caused by digital technology. @iyerland.bsky.social nails it: www.afterbabel.com/p/eight-poli...

Judges have a warning about Trump’s rapid deportations: Americans could be next Judges across the country continue to note that if courts don’t protect the rights of the least popular and most vulnerable, everyone is at risk.

ICE truly dedicated to stochastic terror

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

this is why shipping migrants to third party countries is inherently a due process violation. it very literally removes them from the realm of legal process entirely.

If the government’s position is that being trafficked to El Salvador by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller amounts to a final and irreversible deprivation of all rights, then it seems to me every federal court has a duty to permanently enjoin the practice as soon as it possibly can.

Statement from Elias Law Group Chair Marc Elias

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm.

"Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Costa Rican former President Oscar Arias says US revoked his visa Former Costa Rican President and Nobel Prize winner Oscar Arias said on Tuesday that the U.S. had revoked his visa to enter the country, weeks after he criticized U.S. President Donald Trump on social media saying he was behaving like "a Roman emperor."

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

Trump warns that arrest of Palestinian activist at Columbia will be 'first of many' President Donald Trump is warning that the arrest and possible deportation of a Palestinian activist who helped lead protests at Columbia University will be the first “of many to come” as his administ...

Trump is already behaving like a dictator. This case is designed to silence anyone who challenges this administration. If Mahmoud Khalil is deported, that precedent will take the United States down a very dark and dangerous road.

Opinion | The Dark Precedent in the Tufts Student’s Arrest Any noncitizen, regardless of legal status in the United States, could be detained under an increasingly opaque set of laws.

This is dystopian. The govt does not even allege this woman played a major role in the pro-Palestine protests, like Khalil did. And yet they're trying to expel her to South Korea, where she hasn't lived since she was 7.

I don't see how anyone can defend this. It's un-American.

I continue to be extremely dismayed by the number of people who say they passionately support the First Amendment, only to throw that out the window the moment they find expression they dislike. That is not how this is supposed to work.

ICE Official Admits Many Venezuelan Deportees to El Salvador Had No Criminal Record But Calls Them 'Terrorists' Anyway The administration has admitted that "many" Venezuelan deportees hold no criminal records in the U.S. but defended its decision to deport them anyway

ICE Official Admits Many Venezuelan Deportees to El Salvador Had No Criminal Record But Calls Them 'Terrorists' Anyway.

Trump admin admitted in a federal court document that some accused Venezuelan gang members actually had no criminal record.

When a government can send people to a hellish foreign jail without telling anyone who they are or what evidence they have - what stops them from taking you and me? There is no process or transparency. There isn’t even a list of all the people taken.

The Trump administration is insisting a man they sent to an El Salvador prison is in a Venezuelan gang even though he’s a youth soccer coach and pro goalie with no criminal record and the tattoo they said was a gang tattoo is a soccer team he likes. www.dropsitenews.com/p/venezuelan...

"unlawful challenge to the federal government" - How can this phrase NOT raise alarms for freedom loving conservatives and libertarians? Is it now unlawful to challenge the federal government? didn't we fight a revolution over this?

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Everyone who cares about freedom has a stake in defending the rights of all of us to not be arrested arbitrarily, but rather subject to some due process that is transparent and just. I don't know how we expect tourists to come to the US if this is even a remote possibility.

If you want to deny entry to the United States or change immigration laws, I may disagree with you, but I respect that democracies get to make such decisions. But arbitrarily imprisoning non-criminals without any due process crosses a big giant red line that should not be partisan at all.
